Pros

The best reason to work at EY is the training and a few good seniors. Another reason would be the ability to work remotely. In addition actually getting to interface with some clients.

Cons

They put a tremendous amount of stress on you coming in as a staff 1. You're performance is compared and based off of other staff 1s in the company. If you get one bad review, they will slip that review in the next periods performance and state you don't stack up to your peers. They are very unorganized when it comes to engagements. Staff doesn't know when engagements will start and communication is poor from top down. Counselors, peer advisors, and Counseling families are a complete joke and they don't provide you with additional help or resources. When it comes to getting projects no matter how hard you network they always want to give projects to new hires. The people consultants who claim to help you are very rude, unreasonable, and will not give a justifiable reasons as to their decisions. The list goes on and on. My advice is go to a different firm it's not worth the trouble or wasting time at this firm. Compensation was deplorable for someone holding a MS degree in accounting.

Good to get EY on the CV EY will get you through your exams (get out once qualified!) Good internal prospects

Cons

50 hour weeks are the norm all year round, especially at senior grade Nobody cares about you as long as the work is done The "high performers" are basically the people who work constantly (by that I mean literally every evening and weekend) High turnover

Pros

Big four firm Globally recognized brand That's it

Cons

Poor Leadership Poor HR Laughable pay Poor infrastructure Poor project management Honestly, it's like no one knows what is happening in the company. I think global should take back their name, EY Kenya is just another Njoroge and Sons.
